Dr. Singh, Los Angeles, May 13, 1973: Scientists and other people say that everything in the universe is happening by chance.
Srila Prabhupada: So, are they also writing books on the subject by chance?
Karandhara: The books are also written by chance, they say.
Srila Prabhupada: So, what is their credit? By chance, anything can be written.
Dr. Singh: The French scientist Dr. J. Monod got the Nobel Prize in 1965. He says that everything started by chance — that by chance certain chemicals combined and formed the basic molecules.
Srila Prabhupada: But where did the chemicals come from?
Dr. Singh: According to him, they were created simply by chance, and when the necessity arose, molecules of the chemicals reoriented themselves.
Srila Prabhupada: If everything was happening by chance, how can there be necessity? How can he speak of chance and necessity in the same breath? It is nonsense. If everything is directed by chance, why do people send their children to school? Why not let them grow up by chance? Suppose I break a law. If I say, “Well, it just happened by chance,” will I be excused?
Dr. Singh: So, is crime caused by ignorance?
Srila Prabhupada: Yes. That is the cause: my ignorance.”
